theres some startling information in this article, and this looks like a salvation for paintball, and a beginning for paintball as a BIG TIME sport.

But your missing representation from the 800 pound gorilla-NPS.
Also, Jim Drew is involved and you know that means nothing good could come from it except maybe a sanctioning board with a rule book that has AI!

It Cant Hurt
Well it might be a positive step but will it have any impact?
They dont follow A.S.T.M. Standards. What will be different. A.S.T.M. is voluntary not mandatoryASTM standards have been in place and have been enforced, and bi-annual meetings have been taking place.
Ya ok Then why are tanks mounted to the marker by the reg?Rodd Perry (Smart Parts) supports the World Paintball Committee. He believes that the organization has been deeply needed. His expertise has led him to a deep concern regarding cylinders and their handling.
Bad idea. Seems if they would have listened to someone way back some accidents might not have happened.
AGDs answer a fail safe on the reg in case it breaks off.

Detect switch noise and queue a shot or two? By definition that's firing more times that you pull the trigger, and therefore by current NPPL standards it's a "cheater"- and dozens of guns have those features right out of the box.
Doc.Anybody remember lawn darts or Jarts as they were called?Originally posted by AGD
Mounting the valve on a gun which is basically a two foot long lever and then diving into a bunker is an overall bad idea. Only ONE regulator on the market has a fail safe shut off if the reg breaks off. Three letters, starts with A, you can guess the rest.

Sale in the U.S. BANNED. Know why. Because 3 children were killed by them. 2 people have already been killed from a PaintBall product in the last 5 or 6 months. Can you say C.P.S.C.
Ya sounds like A.S.T.M. Why dont we start with following standards already in place?Jim Winslow continues to actively help the sport of paintball, but mentions that the World Paintball Committee is crucial in the success of the sport in to mainstream America because in order for the sport to be legitimate to the public, it must have a responsible entity representing the industry of paintball.Comment
